Freda's Garden:

Welcome to my Garden!

Taken from Job 38-41

WERE YOU THERE?
Were you there,
When they I laid the earth's foundation?
Were you there,
When I gave birth to the nation?

Were you there,
When the angels sang with the morning star,
And when I said to the sea,
"You can only go so far?

Have you ever given orders to the morning,
Or shown dawn its place,
Walked in the recesses of the deep,
Or been to death's very gate?

Have you ever entered
The storehouse of the snow,
And the way of lightning
Do you know?

Can you bring forth the constellations
In their seasons?
Do you know the laws of heaven
And their reason?

Were you there,
When I gave my Son to die?
Were you there,
When He gave His lonely cry?

Where are you'
Today I implore?
I'm standing, waiting,
For you by the open door!
